The person I am interested in is 6 years into sobriety and is now concerned because he has lust issues. He does not want to get into a relationship for fear that he will act on his lust. How do I approach this without being unsupportive of the fact that I know he has overcome an alcohol addiction and is now falling back on the sex addiction. Is there a possibility he can overcome this obstacle as well or is it a futile attempt by me.

I would think he could see a therapist about the lust issues. I don't think you're the one to try to "cure" him. Maybe there is hope with professional help, if he is serious about being treated.
